Is there a better right winger than Bukayo Saka in world football, asks Chris Sutton

Chris Sutton believes that Bukayo Saka is the best right winger in the world at the moment.

The 21-year-old England wideman has been in superb form for Arsenal this season and was excellent for his country against Ukraine in their recent match.

With Arsenal’s title challenge still holding up, in part due to Saka’s contribution, Sutton remarked on his form.

“I love the bravery of the young players at Arsenal. Saka especially,” he told Betting Sites.

“Is there a better right winger in the world at the moment? I really don't think so. He's 21. Martinelli is flying. But what a job Arteta has done with the youngsters!”

Sutton also believes Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is suffering from ‘sour grapes’ over recent comments about what he perceives Arsenal’s easy time with injuries.

The Dutchman made the comment a couple of weeks ago in the build-up to their Europa League tie with Real Betis, despite Arsenal going without star striker Gabriel Jesus.

Discussing the comments, the former Celtic striker said: “That could well be a bit of sour grapes maybe from Ten Hag yeah. I don't think that you can say Arsenal have been lucky with injuries. 

“The players have obviously been doing the right things and working hard. They'll be doing stuff pre-training to make sure they're conditioned and ready to play. And then warming down correctly after games. 

“That's not to say Manchester United players aren't doing the same things but in some seasons you get more injuries than other seasons. But you know, as a consequence of Arsenal having that continuity while they're doing so well. 

“Ten Hag has done well but he’s probably jealous to be looking and seeing Arsenal just miles ahead of them at the minute.”
